Colossians 3:23–24 (23)Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, (24)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.(ESV)
Work matters. The Christian shouldn’t be careless, lazy, or half-hearted in the work placed before them. But there’s a difference between working faithfully and living enslaved. We’re told to work heartily, as for the Lord, not as for men. That means the Lord owns the work before the work owns us. We can labor with excellence without bowing to panic, approval, ambition, or fear. Good work is stewardship. Disordered work is bondage. The difference is who we believe we are serving.
